Sandman XI

*updates his activities* Give it a try. It's fun!

Angel did nothing, though she's still around (i think) Moira wont be here for a while so her posts are as such Justice Justice, Like Lightning (7 PC) The Unicorn New Kid On Campus (6 PC) Why so Sad, Powerhouse? (3 PC)

Wesley felt the tension between the two ladies. Maybe it was him that should have been between them! Warily he watched making sure it didn't break out into a full brawl. "Hey," he said calmly, "no need for animosity. Chill. Take a deep breath." He looked at the two. "Now, if you think this building is about to explode," he turned into a larger version of the red Chinese dragon Silhouette saw before, "Hop on. We'll talk about this in an unexploded place away from here."

Knight looked like he had seen it all and was still confused. It was definitely later. Hours so. Like dusk. Wesley kept tabs on Powerhouse as he went on his trip. Luckily, he didn't hurt anyone. He surmised that the crazy naked bug lady did this to him, so he didn't fault him for anything. She smiled when Powerhouse regained his way and asked what had happened. "Well, for a while there you were the king of Borneo. Then you could only speak the letter S. The whole musical bit was quite entertaining. And educational! I never knew the the history of the Freedom Friends was so enlightening. Though you could have left out the part where you gave everyone Lady Liberty's 'number'. Splunge is not a number, dude." He shook his head, "Though, are you OK now?"

Elizabeth smiled at the compliment, "Your flattery is quite flattering." Taking a sip of the coffee, she thought about where she wanted to be at the moment. "Somewhere warm," she thought out loud, "I'm the sun soaking type. Fresh air. Hm, It's... mid afternoon in Rome now," she said in a mirthful tone. "Though, I guess I should ask you first instead of just kidnapping you. That would be rude." She held out her hand, "What do you say?"

Muse grimaced when she was left behind. She talked with the nurses trying to learn other things from them, but they couldn't tell her anything. She tried to keep spirits light even though the feeling of dread was upon her. She also entertained others, they were stuck in here also. She told jokes, juggled things and was generally a good sport, even though there was a 'monster' running around. When she heard Gabriel in her head, she perked up and groaned warily at the same time. When she saw him, she smiled, glad that he didn't look worse for wear. She looked concerned also, "We should stick together if we're being watched," she whispered to him, "being caught alone would be bad." She looked him in the eye with a sense of worry, "Did the demon look like the thing we confronted last time?"

Wesley was glad to be interrupted by Silhouette. He smirked at Lynn when she asked about the 'kick me' sign.Though he thought it was a bit dramatic with the interposing bit. "Yeah, sorry about the late night rendezvous with flashing lights. We'd been trying to get you for the past few days. So, little miss pragmatic here suggested we do it nice and showy. She's fun like that."

Luna Moth chuckled aloud after he spoke, "You sure got some high demands. Well then. The next time you see me I will be in clothes. I'll be sure to impress you. Though the wings might be a problem there, we'll see. Secondly, blah, who wants to be a hero nowadays? Save the day my ass, I wanna have fun! Finally, jail? What do you take me for? Some prison bird? I'm too pretty for that!" She shook her head, "see you next time, boys!" And then she flew off. When she left the area got colder a few degrees and the former dazed audience started stirring.

The nurse smiled thankfully and nodded him towards the room. It was a couple of halls over, but a short enough walk. The nurse did not talk to Gabriel, but it was obvious that she was smitten with him. When they reached the room she opened the door. She let him in. Suspiciously the room was empty. The suspicion wore off when the door closed and the woman grabbed him, slamming him into the wall. She changed into a unearthly looking woman with giant leather wings. She was tall enough to stand eye to eye with him as her forearm crossed his neck. "Silly mortal," she said in an almost guttural voice, "do you think it would be that easy?" She planted a deep kiss on him, one that he had never felt the likes of before and probably would never have again. It felt of pure lust. The vice itself was dragging his soul into the Abyss. Gabriel somehow fought through it though. "We've hidden the child. And you cannot stop us from birthing it again." She smiled while a sharp toothy grin. "Just know mortal. You are being watched now." With that the beast disappeared.

ahem... Guess what? to hit and grapple check if needed (1d20+8=26, 1d20+12=30) give me a grapple check and if that fails a DC 20 Will save :o

Wesley nodded as Lynn made him promise. He breathed sigh of relief as she smiled. "I promise to be more open with everyone." He smiled himself. Her enthusiasm was contagious in itself. Colt must have been the happiest person in the world. And he was glad for her and him both. Glad that she had found someone. Glad that he only had to relive the dreaded moments in his nightmares. Not so glad that he had the nightmares though. But hey, compromise!He stood back up. "You know, she might not be in The Fens anymore."

Each one of the last five words hit Wesley like a brick. He knew what she was talking about. "Yeah," he said quietly, "I should have." He sat on the edge of the roof where she was picking mortar and brick. "I never meant to hurt you physically or mentally. If I could go back and kept you safe without killing something I would do it in a split second. There's a lot of things that would go differently if I could." He swallowed his emotion deeply and then cleared it out of his throat. "Lynn, if there's anything you want me to do or say, just name it. Anything to put the beast back in it's cage."

Wesley sighed as he remembered the times he and Robin had. He looked down like a scolded puppy, "Well, let's just say, I thought it was more personal than it was." He paused for a moment and then looked back to Lynn, "The key moment was probably the last. I... I asked if we could move in together. I think I spoke too quickly though. It scared her off. So yeah. That's the short of it." He paused again, thinking back earlier, "Remember when we decided to call it quits? I had my work to console me. Heck it's what kept me from cracking like I did with Robin." He coughed, "I'm sorry about that. I never thought We'd grow apart like that. But then, things happen. Sliding doors, you know? I'm happy you're happy with the path you have taken."

It was just like old times. Well, less personal old times. Knight and Grimalkin on another whirlwind adventure, he joked. Though Wesley was beginning to think Lynn was right. Maybe it was like tracking a shadow. Not even that! He had his life sense on and didn't feel any living shadows. When the lighted message was put up he chuckled. "You know, subtly is sometimes for the birds. I'm sure every one in The Fens saw that."

Luna Moth smiled and shook her finger at Powerhouse, "You shouldn't have made your intentions known! If I fly down there you're gonna hit me, possibly with a chair. And what will become of me then?" She was about to walk down to Powerhouse again when she was surrounded by a purple light. after her muscles tightened and release she yawned to taunt them both. First was to get Powerhouse all hot and bothered, the second was to scorn Wesley, "That was a new trick, Glowworm! You keep trying to relax and massage me, I'm still going after your friend here." She winked at Powerhouse. "OK, let's cut a deal," she said getting serious, "This is dragging on far too long. I'll put back on the dress come down there if you promise me two things. You promise to let me go without violence and... I can get a number or calling card of the sort. That sound like a plan? Since you won't help me with my plans now, you can surely help me with my plans later."

Wesley shook his head. What was he doing? What was he saying? He cleared his mind and looked at the guy still desperately clinging to try to get the bug lady down. "Well," Wesley mumbled to himself, "Third time's a charm." This time he glowed a dark purple. Luna Moth did also. She began to feel her muscles tighten.

DC 22 Fort Save vs Paralyze (1d20+5=23) ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I. DON'T. BELIEVE. IT. Wesley is the biggest Faily McFailington known to man!

Not out of the woods yet! (1d20=4) FREEDOM! 3-5 Act normally.

DC 22 Will Save vs Emotion Control (hate)

Luna Moth cackled as Knight and Powerhouse began to quarrel. Such fun little play toys. She wondered what Knight could do besides make her drowsy and glow yellow. Though she didn't care much, he was under her 'spell'. An obedient little play thing! She wanted a second one. She floated back down to Powerhouse. "Your friend seems jealous of you," she smirked, "Tell me, did you feel tired after that little yellow thing? Is that all he can do? He seems quite harmless. Why don't you go beat him up?" As she spoke a fine melange of spores wafted through the air, unnoticeable to Powerhouse. She flew back up in the air.

Wesley did not look amused to see the sight of the two others cavorting. He didn't want to punch the pretty lady, he actually wanted to meet with her! Little did he know it was the spores messing with his head and not true affection. "You were going to hit such a beautiful lady?" Wesley said with a growl in his voice, "I can't let you get away with such brutish behaviour!" Wesley and Powerhouse began to glow yellow and Powerhouse began to feel drowsy.

Elizabeth sighed. He was right. She wanted to help him. Perhaps a bit too much. She loved that look of determination though. Every time she saw it something happened. Or would happen. She smiled, "You know I love you right? For more than just the music. No matter what other people say, you've shown me you can be something they say you're not." She shook her head, "I don't care what other people say, you're a good person. I hope you never give up. Ever. I hope you get what you want out of life. Be it your friends and parents back or not." She leaned in close, "Just know I am there for you when need me. Please, don't forget that?"

Still confused! (1d20=20) 15-20 Attack nearest creature. Need a DC 22 Fort Save from you!

Luna Moth cackled as the two bickered. Little did Powerhouse know that Knight was under her 'spell'. Dodging the second chair, she flew down to the red faced hero, putting her hands on his cheeks. If there was any question about how she was dressed, this answered it. She was unseasonably warm. "Powerhouse, don't you see," she grinned as he blushed, knowing she was messing with him, "We'd make such a great team." She rubbed something silver and grainy under his nose. "You can take this as a gift from me," she winked and flew back up into the air, "Breathe deeply when you want."

"Yeah," Elizabeth said as she walked back to the booth, "I had to study abroad to work on my doctorate. Officially I am 'Doctor Elizabeth Skillman, DA'." She chuckled as she sat down. "Though recently, I have discovered I have an unknown source of weird powers." She looked around to see if no one was looking and then back to Quinn with a whisper, "The other day, I wished to be some place warmer and then I was on a small island in the middle of nowhere!" She smiled and leaned back, "Of course I came back, but then and here i realized i could go anywhere I wanted by thinking about it." She smirked, "So, I gotta pay you for this coffee somehow. How about I get you away from here? Well, unless you have something to do today."
